“There is no normal life that is free of pain.
It’s the very wrestling with our problems that
can be the impetus for our growth.”

About Kris + Leslie
Life Coaches Kristine Carey & Leslie Gebhart add whimsy and fun
to the very serious business of, as ee cummings reminds us,
“growing into who you are becoming”. These life coaches use
their experience and combine it with the years of training which
allows them to be the enthusiastic, supportive people you see
today. They know that it is possible to live a meaningful and
fulfilling life while being Uniquely Sensitive and are prepared
to partner with you to make that happen with ease and joy.

Kristine Carey
Certified Coach
Kristine Carey adds life experience to her formal education, blending
traditional learning with the knowledge that comes from life's daily ups
and downs. She spent many years living her life the way she thought she
was "supposed" to: college degree, steady job, marriage. These
accomplishments left her feeling empty, ultimately leading her to where
she is now - a life coach, focusing on building her clients' lives on
what is most meaningful for them. Using the phrase "half-lived life" to
describe settling rather than going for the gold, she works with
creative entrepreneurs to support them in defining their life of
meaning.

Leslie Gebhart M.A.
Certified Coach
Long energized by the extra spark that comes during the collaborative
process, Leslie met Kristine during their coach certification training.
Leslie stands shoulder to shoulder in partnership with her coaching
clients as they identify obstacles and create action plans to remove
them so their dreams are realized. If you've ever had a goal or dream
that seemed just out of reach, you will benefit from Leslie's
encouragement and inspirational message. She uses tools from her formal
education as well as life experiences to create a supportive environment
for change.
